Accessing Self-Service Method #1 for New Students, Current Students, Returning Students, and Recent Alumni
The best way to access your Self-Service account is through MyPortal. MyPortal is linked on every one of our college campus website Home pages.
-
Begin on your college campus Home page and click the 3 horizontal lines at the top right corner of your screen. From the menu page that appears, look under the Search bar and click the MyPortal link on the right side.

-
When the MyPortal page displays, click on either the blue “Sign In” button in the middle of the screen, or on the “Sign In” link at the top right corner of the screen.
-
A Microsoft Sign-in page will appear, prompting you to enter your Email, Phone, or Skype handle. To proceed to the next screen, enter your 7-digit student ID number followed by @my.scccd.edu (example: 0123456@my.scccd.edu). Then click the “Next” button.
-
A blue and white State Center Community College District login page should appear. The default login information for students accessing MyPortal is as follows:
-
Username: Your email / username from the Microsoft Sign-in page should already be posted in the Username box.
-
Password: The default password is the first letter of your first name (upper case), the first letter of your last name (lower case), and your 6-digit birthdate (MMDDYY).
-
NOTE: If your password has been changed or has expired, the password may be reset by using the “Change password” link at the bottom of the page. If you do not know your current password, click the “Password reset” link at the bottom of the Change Password page. If you are unable to change or reset your password, please call the Student Systems Support Call Center at (559) 499-6070 during normal business hours (8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, except holidays) for assistance.
-
Once your username and password have been entered, click the Sign in button.
-
The full MyPortal page should display. The link for Self-Service will be listed under the “My Favorite Apps” header. Mobile device users need to click the “Favorites” header to display the links.


7. The Self-Service link on MyPortal should take you directly to the Self-Service Home page. From there, you will see several links to various parts of the website, along with icons for the complete menu on the left side of the screen.

Accessing Self-Service Method #2 for Alumni Who Have Not Applied or Attended in at Least 5 Years
